Description

Organic electroluminescence display panel and feed back control system thereof
Technical field
The present invention is relevant for two-d display panel, particularly relevant for a kind of organic electroluminescence display panel and feed back control system thereof, can be by the degree of aging of feed back control system emulation organic light emission list, so that organic electroluminescence display panel can be kept stable luminosity, be not subjected to the aging influence of assembly.
Background technology
Organic Light Emitting Diode (Organic Light Emitting Diode; OLED) display panel is a kind of thin film lamination escope that utilizes organic compound as luminescent material, has that face is luminous, an autoluminescence, slim, advantages such as amount is light, low driving voltage.The OLED display panel can be distinguished into active formula (active matrix) and two kinds of passive types according to its type of drive, and wherein active formula OLED (AM-OLED) panel is to use thin film transistor (TFT) (thin film transistor mostly; TFT) come driving OLED to show.
Fig. 1 represents the structural drawing (is example with 4 display unit 16a-16d) of Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display panel, the sweep signal on scanning code translator (scanning decoder) the 12 driven sweep line 20a-20b; Data-signal on data driver (data driver) the 10 driving data lines 18a-18b; A plurality of organic luminescence display unit 16a-16d place sweep trace and data line infall respectively, and functionally be coupled to wherein a sweep trace and data line wherein, provide sweep signal and the addressing organic luminescence display unit can write among the organic luminescence display unit 16a-16d data-signal of data line by sweep trace.
Fig. 2 is the structural drawing of conventional OLED display unit, is example at this with organic luminescence display unit 16a.Organic luminescence display unit 16a has switching transistor 22a, driving transistors 24a, capacitor 26a and Organic Light Emitting Diode 28a.When the sweep signal of sweep trace 20a was enabled, switching transistor 22a was conducting, made the signal of data line 18a be able to be stored among the capacitor 26a by switching transistor 22a, and capacitor 26a comes the storage data signal in the mode of voltage.Driving transistors 24a is serially connected with OLED 28a, and both are arranged at high voltage node V again DDWith lower voltage node V SSBetween.Driving transistors 24a is according to the voltage that capacitor 26a deposited that its grid coupled and conducting, in order to do to provide OLED 28a luminous required electric current.
The OLED display panel (person as shown in Figure 1, 2) that tradition adopts amorphous silicon film transistor (α-Si TFT) to drive is because driving transistors 24a is in conducting state for a long time, so its threshold voltage (threshold voltage) V ThAlso can rise gradually thereupon; In addition, Organic Light Emitting Diode 2 8a under long operation its its on voltage V OLEDAlso can increase; As shown in Figure 3.Thus, the electric current that will cause flowing by Organic Light Emitting Diode 28a reduces, and causes the luminous brightness of Organic Light Emitting Diode 28a to diminish.Along with oled panel increases service time, the brightness step-down of each organic luminescence display unit, the brightness of whole OLED display panel is decay and then, so influence the usefulness performance of OLED display panel, has also reduced its serviceable life.
Please refer to Fig. 2, the electric current I of the described driving transistors 24a that flows through DsIts value is:
I ds=K(V GS-V th) 2=K(V G-V S-V th) 2
Wherein, V S=V SS+ V OLEDD, K is a constant, so I Ds=K (V G-V SS-V OLED-V Th) 2So the OLED display panel is under the process long-time operation, because the assembly catabiosis causes threshold voltage V ThAnd OLED 28a voltage V on it OLEDIncrease, must make drive current I DsDescend, and cause the luminosity of OLED display panel to decay.
